How to minimise the taskbar

[bigal1808]

I do apologise in advance, I'm sure this has been asked many times before,
but I can,t find the answer.

A long time ago, I increased the height of my taskbar, and now I want to
'pull' it back down.
I try clicking and holding and dragging the top down, but it won't move.

Am I being really stupid, or is there something wrong.
any advice would be really appreciated.
thanks

Right click on an empty space on the taskbar. Click on Lock the Taskbar to
uncheck it. Drag the topside down.

How many items are in the notification area? If you have unchecked Hide
Inactive Icons, try checking that and trying to shrink the taskbar again.

thanks - I've tried it checked, and un-checked - I can't even get a 'handle'

The right divider of your quick lanch bar could have moved down. Unlock the
taskbar, click the divider to the bottom left of the Quick Launch, and drag
it up and to the right of the quick bar. If you move the right one, you can
re-position the toolbars so they're next to each other rather than
above/below. Then you should be able to resize the Taskbar.

You're a genius, just like bigal1808 said. I've been reading threads
searching for a fix for this problem, and your instructions worked perfectly.
Thank you!!
